public sector employment benefits

I was always brought up to believe that the best school is the school of hard knocks, that the strongest trees grow in the dense forest where they have to fight to survive; those that do, are the best and strongest, but now, women want a leg up with everything, and England has gone PC mad. I can honestly say that every day for the last six months there is a new campaign launched to help women more, the government makes promises, women complain, they were interfered with decades ago etc. I would be very reluctant to employ women IF I had a choice, even though I think there work ability is equal, they also want a lot more Red days, toil days, personal days, sabbaticals, extended holidays, sick pay (above legal minimum),extra sick days (on top of real ones), maternity, paternity, compassionate days, paid while at the dentist etc, early retirement etc. In reality, they can only be employed by the public sector that can afford to cater for all this and pay for it with the tax payers money, a real company cannot be competitive by offering so many lovely benefits
